Tlatoani: Aztec Cities has fully released!

It's an isometric citybuilder game in the style of Caesar and other Impressions Games titles, but with an Aztec theme, and is very well researched (I helped out a bit!)

Check it out if you can, it's 30% off for $13 for the launch!

i watched a video where it explained something that aztects followed some kind of equilibrium when building cities so this game punishes you if you try to min max with the building of the city because that's how they used to do it

    The Impressions Games formula is legendary, and seeing someone apply that same tight resource and walker mechanics to Mesoamerican civilization instead of the usual Roman or Egyptian setting is refreshing. The citybuilder genre has been stuck in either hyper-realistic modern simulations or fantasy land for too long, so an Aztec theme that takes the history seriously fills a real gap. Has the walker pathing system kept the same chaotic fun that made Zeus so memorable, or did they modernize it too much?

    Cool! I'm not in the market for a city builder at the moment, but I have always felt like mesoamerican themes are sorely underutilized in gaming.

    I bought Zeus + Poseidon last week because I felt an urge to play that kind of city builder from childhood. I'll definitely give this one a go 😄
